With Operation: Italy in play, Jeff, Jay and Charlie have a ton to dissect about how to approach a heist movie happening inside an episode of Survivor! They begin with the Italian reward and how Jeff's method of describing the reward makes it all the more appetizing.

And finally, an in depth look at Operation: Italy and how the producers behind this built this iconic Survivor sequence from the beaches to the edit bays.
